Mr.. Thurber, who has come to .Jerauld
county from Iowa for the purpose of
buying Il farm, in this land of cheap
homes.
Going on towards Grow Lake the
road passed through lovely VALLEYS. and
the rolling farms. sleek looking herds
and fine llocks, show that the sob is not
deceitful in it's rich appearance but
produces grain and hay of fr4 class
quality and in great abundance. A.
round Grow Lake the crops were, very
good, this locality being peculiarlt free
from drouth and hail storms, the\w1n
destroyers whose visits are so much
dreaded by the jewellers on the weshrn
plains. Il
by the time we reached the village
Of Crow Lake a cold DRILLING rain had
set in, but rainy weather does not
dampen the ardor, nor check the cheer
fulness Of Crow Lake people, as we
soon discovered. We found Jack Yes
sey as jolly as ever holding the fort in
the na2>e of Albert and Vessey and
their store Of general merchandise.
We called at Brother Pooley's office,
met Guy McGlashan, agent for the
Dakota Fire and Marine Insurance
Company, and after shaking hands all
around retreated from the rain into
the pleasant home of DR.. Nlelcher,
where we made the acquaintance of
his amiable wife and sweet little rosy
checked brown-eyed daughter ANNA
The Doctor has just finished his new
house on his homestead where he will
live this winter, and he may we'll con-
slider himself fortunate to have such a
farm in such grand locality. All that
Crow Lake needs is a railroad and we
do not think the people will be without
one many years. The rich farm land,
excellent pastures and abundant water
supply is bound to attract attention,
and we would 62y to those who are
holding claims 'hold on" We predict
that there will be an immense immigra-
ton to this country in the Spring, when
those who wish to sell will have ample
opportunity.
The opponents of division, not able
to advance enough logical argument
against it to unsettle the convictions
Of its friends, are using the following
sophistry which is from a st. Paul in
terview with Major Edwards:
But the truth of the matter is we are
all for division if it were possible, but
it is not. What we should all work
for is admission. The territory is ac-
tually suffering for local self-govern-
ment.
The inference plainly is that to vote
for division is to delay admission,
which is wholly false. The powers at
Washington have said repeatedly that
Dakota could expect nothing until she
knew what she wanted. Now that she
is in far way to give an overwhel-
ming expression to her wishes she is
told by her enemies that to so express
herself is not only to defeat her hopes
Of getting what she does want but will
also sta2l in the way of getting what
she does not want. unless it is the best
she car get.-Mitchell Republican.

High License And, Partnership Wit.
Saloons.

Saloons.
Eight years ago the city of Lincoln
adopted high license. Their charter
would not allow them to prohibit. A
thousand dollar TAX was thought next
to it, but oh how mistaken. 1t lessened
the number Of saloons from twenty
three to five, but did not lessen the
sales ofliquor;on the contrary itrather
stimulated sales. Like cutting off a
dogs tail the nutriment went to the
dog instead of to the useless tail. The
dog was more lively.
Pruning stimulates growth, so the
saloon keeper is stimulated to push his
trade for all there is in it. Five of the
same saloon keepers continued, and
some Of the very worst ones, providing
there can be any difference in rotten
eggs. Those five saloons have grown
from Ten to twenty thousand.
There is no more respect for the law
than before, in fact, less. They think
they pay dear for their franchises ana
are bound to have them all. Men get
drunk, boys get drunk, women get
drunk, they fight, stab and shoot each
other just as they did before. Vice and
crime are on the increase, Just as they
always will be, unless the saloon keep
er is choked off. Drunkards' homes,
crying wives and ragged children can
be found on every street. Men high up
in the walks Of life stsgger across our
social circles.
Their liquor is just as poisonous as
ever. A half pint kills healthy boys
within twelve hours, and has done it
right. here in this county.
There was just as much opposition
to high license, at first, in Nebraska as
these is to prohibition in iowa. All
river cities have the same disease. A
law and order league has been organ
lied in several Of the large cities but
they have not ordered" any yet. The
question has been asked, 'If whisky is
good for men why is it not good for
boys?" of good at noon why is it not
good atmidnight and on election days ?"
"If good for white men why is it not
good for indians?'
But the beauty Of high license is, the
people get half the profits Of. the trade.
That sweetens all the bitter pangs;
purilies all the corrupting streams, and
turns the most internal darkness into
heavenly light. When you see faith
er weeping over a drunken son tell him
to flee at once and enter into partner
ship with the man that sells him liquor
and it will be all right.
Think of it, how easily that twenty
FIVE thousand dollars are Brushed into
the school treasury in this little city
every year. Then think of the blisters
on the fingers of the teachers that re-
ceive that money. Better set them to
fumbling after diamonds in the bot
tomless pit. Twenty-Five scholars Of
hell furnish money to run the schools
of this Christian people, Shame. The
lottery money Of New orleans is sweet
scented compared to saloon money.
Why not try licensing polygamy,
pri2e-Iighting, tho publication OF OBJ
scene books and pictures?

Hi License.

Talk about regulating the liker traf-
fc by hi license; my conshuns, what
Yoes the saloon keeper care fur hi Ii
cense? Sposun fur instance, ne buys
q 30 gallon cask lv whiskey at $3.50 per
gal which is about as good as most NV
UNI sells over the bar and then adds 5
gals. water, which cordin to good au-
'hority, is pretty small proportion, he
kin divide that s gals NV water after
its mixed with the whisky into 16
tiriAksto the pintand young man who
ulster keep saloon lowed that was about
the average dose, and at 10 cents per
drink he'll get $3.50 per pint or $500
per ct. or $3.50 per gal or $4,000 for
the 3 gals NV water.
Now Tine an old woman, and amt
edicated very hi, and consequently
amt very quick ligerin, but I'd be
pleezed it some NV your smart hi license
fellows wood figger out the rest NV the
barrel Nv whisl1ey and see if it woodnt
pay the $500 license and have sunthln
to brag on, just as slick as the gals NV
water pays fur the whisky. All the
advantage kin see in hi license is, the
hier the license the more water thail
get into THAR liker, and when they get
the license so hi that it won't pay to
mix any liker with the water, then
maybe it'll be success. That's all the
good Teacher can see in hi license and
Eben cant nuther. Yours fur no license
